Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations II

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Honoured fathers,

I'd like to thank my son Marcellus Aemilius for his kind words and bid him welcome to this house. With the excellent tutors he has, I have great hopes for him.

I would also like to express my sympathy and grief to family of Marcus Laevinus, who was such a promising young man. Surely the gods will welcome him, who died a true Roman Hero's death, in the Elysian Fields. I will offer prayers in his honour to Jupiter and Mars this evening. I hope my sons will emulate his shining example of Roman Heroism. I give an open offer of any assistance I can offer to his wife Aurelia and his lovely daughter Fannia.
